Abstract

We investigate the reflection of laser pulse from a uniformly moving mirror at relativistic speeds in the general case of inclined mirrors. We use geometrical optics to derive general relations for length, frequency, wavelength and electric field of the pulse after reflection from inclined mirror in the lab frame. In addition, the pulse geometric deformation from reflection is investigated and simulated in two dimensions.
